TOOL-BEST.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 27, 1910.

Application flied June 14, 1910. Serial No. 588,773.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK P. One, a citizen of the United 'States, resident of Beauchamp, Province of Saskatchewan, Dominion of Canada, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Tool-Rests, of which the following is a specification, the principle of the invention being herein explained and the best mode in which I have contemplated applying that principle, soas to distinguish it from other lnventions.

My invention relates to a tool rest, and particularly to that class which permit of a multiple adjustment.

The object is the provision of a rest suitable for use in connection with a rotary abrading member, toward which the edge of the tool can be firmly presented from any angle, distance or height desired.

The said invention consists of means hereinafter fully described and particularly pointed out in the claims.

The annexed drawings and the following description set forth in detail one mode of carrying out the invention, the disclosed mode, however, constitutin but one of various ways in which the principle of the invention may be applied.

In said annexed drawings Figure 1 is an end view of my tool rest. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same in its relation to a rotary abrading member. Figs. 3, land 5 represent perspective views {of certain details. Fig. 6 is a section on line VIVI of Fig. 2, looking in the direction of the arrows.

Like letters and numerals of reference refer to like parts throughout the several of the blade-sharpening machine shown, de-

scribed and claimed in my co-pending main application, and in fact immediately adjacent the rotary abrading stone a This invention comprises a chief supporting standard J. The lower part of this standard is looped upon itself, and preferably to form an elongated slotted portion j of integral construction. The upper part is similarly formed into a tubular portion best seen in Fig. 1. The lower slotted portion is further bent at an angle, as clearly appearing in Fig. 2. The standard is adjustably and secured by specific means of a stud j", flanged washer j, separately represented in Fig. 5,

and the wing-nut 7'. It should now be apparent to those sufficiently skilled in the art that the chief standard vJ is both oscillanut is may consequently be secured thereupon, to securel fix the oscillatory mounted tool rest L, w ich is well represented in Figs. 1 and 3, is adapted to rest between the shoulder .10 and wing-nut is. As so mountedthe rest L may approach the stone 0 as nearly as the manipulator chooses to have it, may assume various heights with respect thereto, within the limits of the slotted portion j, and in addition present its flat surface 1 at any practical angle with reference to the horlzontal.

A clamp M is mounted upon the laterally projecting end of the rod K so as to be at one and the same time slidable and rotatable thereon. Passing through the two extensions m of this clamp is a threaded supporting member a which is formed integral with another rest N, that is V-shaped. The member N is-also rovided with the necessary shoulder it. till another wing-nut 11. secured upon the threaded supporting member 71. operates to simultaneouslysecure the clamp M and the rest N in any of their many relative positions. It is thus manifest that this multiple adjusting structure ermits a movement of the second rest in five distinct directions with relation to the abrading member.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim therefor and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a tool rest, the combination of a .to said standard, a clam rotatably and slidand means for fixing said rest siiiiult-anel clam and a wing-nut for simultaneously 10 ously against sliding and rotation.
